1995 Honda CBR600F3 Introduction

At Honda’s semi-secret proving grounds in California’s Mojave desert, we ran the new 1995 CBR600F3 side-by-side against its older sibling, the F2. Although there was no radar gun available, the new F3 is at least 5.0 mph faster than last year’s model, and probably closer to seven or eight: our 1995 test bike indicated 175 mph around Honda’s 7.5 mile flat oval test track while the 1994 model, decidedly slower, could only muster an indicated 167 or so. In the real world, this means that the F3 could be pushing 160 mph.
